Flight (pbs)
http://pbskids.org/wayback/flight/
As America marked the 100th anniversary of the Wright brothers' first airplane flight, this site will help kids learn about the stories behind the celebration.
Visitors can find out about how Orville and Wilbur Wright became interested in flight and how they tried to get their ideas off the ground.
The site also highlights other firsts, like the first U.S. Air Mail pilots and early stunt pilots or barnstormers like Bessie Coleman, who was also the first African American woman pilot. A modern-day barnstormer (and commercial pilot) Susan Dacy tells kids what got her interested in flying and what keeps her excited.
And a glimpse at the history of aviation is revealed through portraits of aviation pioneers.

Flight in Birds and Aeroplanes (video lecture)
John Maynard Smith, University of Sussex
John Maynard Smith, one of our most eminent evolutionary biologists and scientific communicators originally trained as an engineer and spent the war years designing aircraft. He describes the way that flight developed in the animal kingdom. The fossil record indicates that the long tails which stabilised the flight of the first birds evolved into shorter, less stable, structures which allowed greater agility.

Alka-Seltzer Experiments
Not only does Alka-Seltzer help you to feel better fast, it's also pretty cool to watch!
The familiar fizzing you hear when you drop an Alka-Seltzer tablet into a glass of water is the result of a chemical reaction. It's also the perfect tool for demonstrating some very nifty science principles; things like the factors affecting the rates of chemical reactions, or the colors produced by a chemical reaction.

How Does a Kite Fly?
http://www.skratch-pad.com/kites/fly.html
How Does a Kite Fly?
Have you ever wondered how a kite flies? Well, let me tell you!
Think of the kite as a sail boat, catching the air. The air tries to push the kite along like the sail boat. But the string the flyer holds keeps the kite tethered. Since the kite cannot go with the wind flow and the kite is tilted so that the air is deflected downward, the kite has no where to go but up.

Flight - Virtual Field Trip
http://www.field-trips.org/cross/flight/index.htm
A field trip created with TourMaker guides you through a sequence of Web pages on any given topic. For each page, there is simultaneous commentary in an accompanying frame. You move forward and back through the Field Trip using the tour Control Panel and you can leave the Tour to explore links and return to it whenever you want.
Flight is a topic that is as appealing to adults as it is to children. The long history of the development of flying structures tells the story of perseverance and technical knowledge that was demonstrated so well by their inventors.
The Web sites in this adventure will point out the scientific principles that make flight possible, as well as the fascinating history of its evolution. The people who made each step come to life are highlighted as well. Several of the sites are interactive and therefore invite students to be active participants in the learning experience.
